I'm still not sure why Tag-URI[1] hasn't gained more support: > The tag algorithm lets people mint — create — identifiers that no one else using the same algorithm could ever mint. It is simple enough to do in your head, and the resulting identifiers can be easy to read, write, and remember. They would seem to solve at least part of the problem Berners-Lee opined about: > Now here is one I can sympathize with. I agree entirely. What you need to do is to have the web server look up a persistent URI in an instant and return the file, wherever your current crazy file system has it stored away at the moment. You would like to be able to store the URI in the file as a check… > You need to be able to change things like ownership, access, archive level security level, and so on, of a document in the URI space without changing the URI. > Make a database which maps document URN to current filename, and let the web server use that to actually retrieve files. Not a bad idea, if you have a good URI scheme to back it up. I even wrote a Ruby library for it[2] (there are others[3][4] but no Javascript one that I can find, it being the language that produces the worst URLs and doesn't seem to have a community that cares about anything that happened last week, let alone 20 years ago, that's not a surprise) [1] http://taguri.org/ http://taguri.org/ [2] https://github.com/yb66/tag-uri/ https://github.com/yb66/tag-uri/ [3] https://gitlab.com/KitaitiMakoto/uri-tag/ https://gitlab.com/KitaitiMakoto/uri-tag/ [4] https://metacpan.org/pod/URI::tag https://metacpan.org/pod/URI::tag
